Director David Gelb (“Jiro Dreams of Sushi”) tackles another venerable, beloved, and long-standing institution: the Mustang, crown jewel of the Ford fleet. As the fiftieth anniversary of the Mustang approaches and the US car industry is just emerging from the ravages of the Great Recession, Ford launches what is only its fifth redesign of the iconic Mustang since its debut in 1964. Now the expectations of thousands of Mustang devotees around the globe are all placed squarely on the shoulders of the Mustang engineering and design team. Chief Program Engineer Dave Pericak leads the charge from assembly floor to showroom – refining every minute detail – as the 2015 Mustang is put the test in the final days leading up to its internationally anticipated launch.
Produced by Grammy Award winning Nigel Sinclair (Foo Fighters: Back and Forth) and Glen Zipper, producer of the Academy Award winning Undefeated, “A Faster Horse” is masterfully crafted with gorgeous cinematography throughout. The dynamic and celebratory film wonders aloud how an American icon can be adapted for changing times. Written by Mark Monroe (Academy Award winning “The Cove”), Gelb cuts in a rigorous, high-energy look at the history of Ford and the emotional connection many have to the definitive muscle car—a chassis cool enough for Steve McQueen—moving the film beyond a car lover’s documentary to a resonant examination of American ingenuity, workmanship, and resilience.
